united's really weak midfield is not going to cut it against the rest of the top 4-6 who all imo have better midfields.

all teams will have to do is pack the midfield and united wont be able to connect a single pass from the defense to offense.

we dont need to win every game against top clubs....we just need to lock down defense and score goals against small clubs to win the league.

Tactic proven by mou

it's that easy huh. Funny how we reachedthe cl final in 11, won the epl in 11, and where 2 minutes away from winning in 12. Real MAsdrids cm isnt antyhting to shout about either to be honest. Alonso is the most raped cm in la liga.

Alonso is a DLP.

Last time we played their greatest team in 03. we candidly smashed them 3-0 away.

not that this is the topic of discussion but of course madrid's midfield is bad, i never denied that. i completely agree and it does pigeon hold us having a bad midfield, teams can shut us down much easier than if we had a midfield that could hold and distribute the ball better. and dare i say xabi + khedira > carrick + anderson (or who ever would play next to him, scholes again?)

and im not saying man u will drop out of the top 4 so stop acting as if im implying that. i know a lot more goes into it than midfield, all im saying is that they are going to have more difficultly this season against teams with a competent midfield and tactics.

carrick is okay but then there is a hugeee drop off with anderson, retiring scholes, retiring fletcher, and cleverly.
